Dr. Abbas - University Hospitals, Cleveland, OH

[buckeyegirl76 8]

Does anyone have any experience with Dr. Abbas from UH Cleveland? I was scheduled with Dr. Khaitan but due to a scheduling screw up I am either going to have to significantly postpone surgery, which really isn't an option with my job, or switch to Dr. Abbas. I'm kind of in panic mode because for the past 7 months I have worked with Dr. Khaitan and I know nothing about Dr. Abbas. I am having the sleeve. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I just saw one review online, and it was a 5 star. He's on the med school faculty at CWRU and works at a teaching hospital, so I wouldn't be too worried. Since he trains *other* people how to do bariatric surgery, I'm sure he must be good and very well-qualified. I had mine done at a teaching hospital as well - the staff at those are usually top-of-the-line.

My surgery was delayed. During pre op x-ray they found I had walking pneumonia, even though I didn't have any symptoms. I am now scheduled for January 31 at UH with Dr. Khaitan. How has your recovery gone? Are you happy you went with UH for surgery? I'm excited but getting nervous.

hi..yes I love the UH Parma team. Dawn was my nurse...so sweet and helpful.

Nutritionist is always nice....do you work with her...can't think of her name.

a coworker had the doctor you are going to ...she seemed pleased.

I go to the doc on Friday for my 90 check up. I guessing I'm down about 43 lbs since surgery. 51 lbs from my highest late summer. I feel great!
